Default Battery connector mod

Has anyone posted in detail, how to mod the battery connector to a hatch for easier charging?

Could you point me in the right direction please? I have a HL Panther on order and would like to research what I'm going to do to it?

Thanks

Here is a link on it, but what detailed questions do you have? I use W.S. Dean connectors that was recommended on this forum and the actual charging connector I copied what Alan from SCAT used and I have the part numbers written in this post!

Hi Blitz,
i followed your link and signed up for the site!!!

Yes this is very helpful to me. I would like to make the new Panther waterproof and to limit entry into the tank for charging the battery.
I am very new to this and can take a little time to get my understanding right. This site is full of fantastic info, pics, advice etc but I find it hard to find what i'm looking for.

Thank you again for the info

General Jumbo,

I have built a HL Panther and did a few changes on it, I believe I have a picture or two of it in my Galley or you can check on the Galley at RCTankWars.com, I at work now or I would drop a few photos on the forum! I do not have any pictures of that build process for this tank, but this tank is all metal, except the little spring arms! It has been a reliable runner and a great battle tank!
